Do you only post in threads started by people you like?
Just curious. Suppose someone you can't stand (but don't have on ignore) posts a thread about a subject that you're very interested in? Do you reply, or do you wait for someone else to reply and then respond to that person? If you don't post in it, do you read the responses?

:shrug:

1. If I don't like some of the things they say?
Yes

If they've gone out of their way to be an asshole to me?
No (and I usually regret when I make exceptions to the smug turdlets)

Fortunately, I don't post much at all these days. Too busy with living life and doing more interesting things. :)

8. More the second one.
Life can certainly be more interesting than posting here. I'm glad you're too busy to hang around here much. I have been myself ... but ran out of steam this afternoon. x(


It's good to see you.

5. If someone has a history of being rude, stalking, or cruel to me...
..I do not post in their threads. Why would I open up myself to more of that?! :shrug:

9. So it's more
a matter of how they've treated you, not necessarily what side they argue in other discussions.

If they've been that nasty to you, I certainly can understand why you wouldn't want to reply to their threads. :thumbsup:

7. I haven't ever developed an intense enough dislike of a DUer to consider that
I guess there are people I tend to agree with or disagree with, but that's never stopped me from posting. I am, however, an occasional to rare poster to begin with.

15. With some people I connect
with others I don't. SO I barely post in threads of people I don't feel like I can talk to. It might sound strange but even over the internet, just reading the posts I know who I can talk to and who not.

39. Oh, no. I'm perfectly comfortable being nice to someone I fought with yesterday.
For the very most part; there are a FEW exceptions.

Carrying grudges around wold only make my back more sore than it already is. Besides, there have been MAY times here at DU when I haved terrific fight with people, and they and I have ended up coming to terms just by making the efort to talk to each other.

Makes it easy.

Nah, I'm just kidding. I don't care who the author is.

41. I post on threads more for their content than I do their author.
There are some posters that I like better than others, but I don't have anyone on ignore.

43. I pretty much try to 'talk' to the people I like.
I'll post in a thread if I think it is interesting, but there are some people I don't talk to because I think they're idjits.

46. No I Post In People's Threads
for the most part whether I like them or not.

I even have posted in people's threads who have said some pretty nasty things about me too, although I tend to avoid them now as they just aren't worth the time.
